“Dorothy Napangardi tells detailed, important stories in exquisite paintings. These extraordinary works may appear to be intricate black and white abstractions, but for Napangardi and her people they recount the stories of Jukurrpa, or Dreaming, which prescribes laws, moral codes and rules for dealing with the environment.”
“In a way it reminded me of Auntie Emily Kngwarreye’s work, the way she put down her Yam (Dreaming); same idea. Not same dreaming - Dorothy has different Dreaming - same idea in a way, but different Dreaming… . Not same brushstroke, different stroke. Dorothy painting always reminds me of women dancing, really in formation, dancing for ceremony.” — Kathleen Petyarre
